Greetings everyone, this is where I’ll be posting my portraits and other sprite related work I’ve made in my free time.
This is also a sorts of bio I’ve made here. In reality, I’ve been a follower of the FE franchise ever since 2022, but it wasn’t till April of 2023 when I actually had a Laptop to make my own works and start to sprite for the first time, and it wasn’t till now when I actually got the courage to join this wonderful community.
Anyways, here’s where I’ll post most of the sprite work I did in the meantime, most of it, if not, all of it will be F2E btw, though maybe there will be one or other times where I post something that’s explitcitly neither F2U nor F2E, so keep that in mind.
I’ve also been inspired by some other guys here like Melia and GaryTop to give commentary and backstory to each of the sprites I post here.
Although keep in my mind that for the moment that I don’t take commissions, requests or the like, both because I’ve just started, I treat this more of a hobby, and I don’t have all the time to be spriting, so I’m not always available. And I’ll post irregularbly, not always.
For now though, I’ll have only one section, that is the F2E section of my works.
F2E
Pokemon
Gen I
Mewtwo
The strongest Pokemon to have been created strikes back with some new and improved portraits. Thanks to me improving at portrait making, I ended up making a Mewtwo portrait that looked better than before and was easier to draw, alongside being able to easily make outfit alts. The problems with the old one were, aside from using the skin tones in an awkward way, it also had a weird pose, one where it ended up making Mewtwo look a bit small and showing almost the half of its body. That one was mostly based on its Unite game stance, but I guess it didn’t look too well, so I gave it a pose that was less centered, alongside making it bigger. Thanks to doing that, not only I was able to give it some alt portraits based on its different body design, the original one used mainly on the first Pokemon movie, but I also was able to make alts of the armor it used in that movie too. Granted, it was a bit difficult making parts of the armor design, especially the chest plate (maybe that part will change if I end up revisiting it) without them looking awkward or very big, which you can see on the right part of the portrait, where the helmet and the shoulder pad are at the limit of the portrait space, while I also had to give the armor some shading effects so that it wouldn’t look really simple and bland (this was something inspired mainly by fanarts, since most of the official anime scenes don’t give Mewtwo’s armor shining effects). In the end I think it ended up looking really great, and at least it’s a major improvement over the old portrait, where making its armor design without it looking very awkward would’ve been next to impossible.
All in all, these Mewtwo portraits have a ton of options too, whether what you prefer: it’s current design, the old one, the old colors versions that only have 5 skin tones and one color of the eyes’ sclerae in case you want to give it an outfit with a complicated color scheme, an alternate skin tone version that looks less pink and more white, and the classic armor outfits which also have variants with glowing eyes.
Tons and tons of Mewtwo portraits
Alternate body/First movie design
Different skin tone alt
Classic armored Mewtwo portraits
No helmet alts
Full armor alts (+ glowing eyes alts)
Armor with alt body design alts
No helmet alts
Master Chief Mewtwo
This is literally just the classic armor Mewtwo portrait, edited to resemble the Master Chief armor. The colors and some of the parts I edited where based on Garytop’s Master Chief portrait. At least making these portraits was good enough in case I end up making another Master Chief Mewtwo portrait that ends up much closer to how a Spartan’s armor looks.
facing right/inverted alts
Shadow Mewtwo
A dark version of Mewtwo that was made for the fighting game Pokemon Spin-off “Pokken Tournament” around, uh, almost a decade ago. This one was pretty easy to make, since all I needed to do was just recolor its skin colors and make the shadow synergy stone located on its right shoulder, and if you look close enough, I also edited a bit the eyes of the Mewtwo with the normal body design. Thanks to that being simple to do I also did a mirrored alt of it that ended up making me edit the mouth frames, but it wasn’t too bad at least. This character is supposed to be a Pokken Tournament character, but since this is just an alt of a Pokemon that already exists, these portraits will be put in the same place where Mewtwo’s portraits are located.
Old Mewtwo portrait
The allegedly strongest pokemon to ever exist… at least for the first Gen. Enjoyed seeing what colors I could use for this one. Seeing as I would only color the top part of this pokemon, which doesn’t have too much variation in colors that I would put, I decided to give him 5 colors that would be used as skin tones for it. Combined with one singular color that was used as the white sclera of his eyes, this one didn’t even up with at least 9 colors! Definitely one that you could put almost anything into him. I may give him a redesign in the future tho, feeling like it could be more better. Other than that, I’ll leave it as it is.
Gen II
Typhlosion
The fully evolved starter from Gen II is here, although it’s just the original variant for now. At the very least it comes with a variant of it looking “amused”, inspired by a scene from the Pokemon anime. Really like how its mouth frames ended up.
Sneasel
This is a portrait that I had a bit of a problem in regards to the colors I’ve used at first. Mainly the dark blue-green ones, because I didn’t notice that the colors I used had a very low color value lol. Other than that I didn’t have too much problems in making this one’s portrait. I’ve even made a version of it looking in another way to help avoid ambidextrous sprites. These ones are the Male Sneasel version too. Later I’ll make a Weavile portrait down the road, alongside the Hisuian Sneasel and Sneasler ones.
Lugia
One of their generation’s main legendaries. Since this mon basically has a simple color design (at least when it comes to the head only), I gave it 5 skin tones like a normal FE GBA character, and then just two tones for blue and red. It was a bit difficult making the mouth frames, but overall I liked how it turned out.
Gen III
Blaziken
The fully evolved fire starter from the 3rd gen from Pokemon, now in FE GBA format. I tried to use some of the normal colors of the skin tone of a regular FE portrait as the colors of the Blaziken’s feathers, although eventually I settled for a slightly different tone.
Gardevoir
A notorious pokemon from Gen III who by all means should be pretty normal. Other than that this Pokemon now has a portrait for anyone to use. This alongside Gallade would be the main characters of a romhack I plan to make one day. And much like Braixen I waited to put this portrait until I felt it was good enough to upload, by improving its color palette.
Gardevoir outifts
Gardevoir Fashionable style
The very first Unite style of Gardevoir that I’ve made. Fitting for the spring season coming soon. And thanks to this outfit having mostly the same colors as Gardevoir, I didn’t end up using more new colors aside from 3 tones of pink. If you want to use this portrait tho, you’ll have to use the portrait extension patch to fit it properly.
Gardevoir Armour Knight
You know, I could’ve made an outfit for Gardevoir that fitted their characterization, like making a mage or cleric outfit, but instead of that, I thought “Nah, what if, armor knight Gardevoir”, so I ended up making a Gardevoir with an armor knight outfit, based on the FE6 armor knight design. Although at the very least you could make a magic armor knight instead so that it still fits. I also made an alt with them having a different color for their armor, in case you want different head and armor colors.
Gardevoir Cafe Style
Uh, this is not the actual Cafe Remix outfit for Gardevoir, but close enough if you would say. Still, it was good enough to do this outfit portrait. Back when I was searching references to make this portrait I’ve noticed that most fanarts of Gardevoir with this outfit don’t actually draw the pokeball pin on their hat, either by drawing it from the opposite side or just plain not having it at all. So for those that want it to be as similar to the Unite outfit I’ve made a variant with the pokeball pin, and another without it, alongside variant of it looking at the opposite side. Overall a good enough outfit to make.
Gen IV
Gallade
The very first sprite I’ve made. Keep this in mind, most of the sprites I’ve made where first drawn in a drawing book, and then were digitally scaned so that I could insert them in a PNG image. Fun fact there.
Well, as for the Pokemon himself, this is a character I’ve drawn with the intention of having him be one of the protagonists of a FE8 romhack I’ll release in the yet undrawn future. I remember struggling to make this portrait at first, thanks to being well, the very first portrait I’ve made. In particular, I’ve reached the color limit, most of the shading was wrong, and most important I didn’t know how to make eye and mouth frames lol. Beginner’s luck basically 
Also I’ve made some miscellaneous expressions for this character down here.
Lucario
It’s ya blue boi Lucario. My favorite pokemon of all time lol. Making its portrait wasn’t too difficult IIRC. It kind of beats Gallade in being the first portrait I’ve posted here too.
Lucario Outfits
Lucario Ruins Style
I’m sure at least one person here will like this portrait. The way I made it went so that there was at least 4 different gold tones and 2 green ones. Nice for a pharaon type of character. Overall a great outfit to have, and draw at the same time.
Lucario Cafe Mix
Look at the happy boi (yeah, def not showing my favorite Pokemom bias here). In all seriousness, I was happy to make this portrait, simple yet great enough design. I kind of struggled a bit with with the hat, so maybe I’ll make it bigger later, but for now, this is good enough. It comes with a blush variant too.
Lopunny
That infamous rabbit pokemon from Gen IV. At least it was a bit fun making this portrait. Similarly to Blaziken, I’ve used a bit of some skin tone from certain FE characters, especially dark skinned ones like FE6 Garret, as some of the colors of the pokemon. I kind of feel like using a bit more colors, or at the very least do different shading, but overall this one went well.
Lopunny Outfits
Lopunny Myrmidon
Another Pokemon with an FE based outfit. I did this one based on Fir’s myrmidon clothing, although it isn’t noticeable at first. I’m not that good at making clothes at the moment, so doing this simple try was great enough.
Darkrai
The bringer of nightmares itself. Had fun drawing it. I’ve made two distinct portraits that are meant to be used for wherever direction it’s seeing, ala Nergal from FE7 and Chrom from Awakening. Maybe I’ll update the higher part of its head, but for now it’s pretty much good enough.
Riolu
The first of the baby Pokemon that I made a portrait of. It was prety easy to make its portrait, mainly by following the colors I’ve used for my Lucario portraits, albeit with a lighter shade of blue. Overall happy that I managed to make this one.
Infernape
The final phase of the fire starter of Gen IV. I prefer the grass starter of that generation, although that one’s by far the most quadruped of the starters there, the most obvious choice was making an Infernape portrait. This is actually my 2nd attempt at making a portrait of this character, since the previous one I made was… less than good tbh. This one’s much better made, although maybe I think that it would look a lot cooler if the flame from its head was a bit bigger than it looks, but for now this is good enough. It was fun making its flaming head have a different outline color, and also making an enraged variant of it, based mostly on Ash’s Infernape from the DP anime.
Feminine version
Anthro Glaceon
I’ve spent a week total in making the portrait of this pokemon (last week as of writing right now), which, on one hand, is mostly a showcase of unproductiviness, but on the other hand, is a showcase of my skills improving. I did this portrait mainly because I wasn’t too confident in making a normal standing Glaceon (and a Sylveon one too) for a romhack I want to make in the far future, so I figured out just making a portrait of this character if it was antropomorphic, which also helped at practicing in making more human postures. I’ve made different variants of this character, of which include different color variants that I might post later, a uuum… less androgynous version of this portrait (is the one I’m thinking right now fine to post here? might be, but if not then make sure to remind me, and I’ll replace it), and some outfit variants, which are a mage outfit that was based on one of VelvetKitsune’s characters, and a purple sweater alt that resulted from making that portrait.
Gen V
Audino
The Chansey expy of Gen V, who is notorious for being a big exp piñata there. don’t confuse expy with exp, okay? Good. You have an Audino portrait that you can use for anything you want.
Gen VI
![Greninja [FC]](https://feuniverse.us/uploads/default/original/3X/0/3/03ebf4f372e4a8137de0b853f66ec46a691d6a52.png)
Greninja
This is my 2nd attempt at drawing this pokemon. I wanted to give it a pose that was it less being on a combat pose and it being on a more neutral but still serious pose, so that way it would look more dynamic imo. Fun thing about it is that it also ended up being taller as a result. Maybe the hardest part was doing its arms since not only are the arms not commonly drawn on sprites, but I barely did them too, although for now what I have is good enough for me imo. Like some of the other Pokemon portraits I redid in the past, I avoided giving it a low amount of colors since that wouldn’t good for the Pokemon if they don’t actually have any clothes (like the holowear for example) unless one day I end up doing their outfits, although in the end I still wish I had enough colors for some of parts of its portraits, like the armor-like bumps on his elbows.
Old Greninja portraits
Another very popular Pokemon that now has a FE portrait. I’ve made it based on the portraits it has on Pokemon:SMD. If I were to redo this portrait, maybe I would only fix the part of the tongue “scarf” it has on the right side, but aside from that, this went fine. And the eye and mouth frames almost overlap by a bit. Overall I’m glad how this one went.
I also made more expressions for this ninja frog, alongside two variants of it without the tongue scarf, for the ones that prefer it without that:
Braixen
A redone portrait of this character, much like Delphox, of which I did post its former mug earlier, unlike Delphox. This new version takes the Pokken Tournament character model as a base to its overall appearance, making it so that it more or less has a more 3d appearance than the other portraits I did. While this portrait is smaller when compared to Delphox, this one is also more bigger than the old one, even having its stick present here. I drawn it so that it barely reaches the hackbox limit, although it’s pretty much a bit insignificant since the extended part of the portrait is located around there. Would try for a non exceed mug alt, but I’m not sure how it would turn. I’ll definitely try to give it expression alts later tho, since that’s what I liked doing with its old portraits. Overall I like this new attempt much more than the previous one.
Old Braixen portraits
The middle phase of the fire starter of Gen VI, who is also more popular than its final evolution, is now here as a portrait! I had this portrait already made a long time ago as one of my first portraits, although even when I made it better I still felt the need to improve it further, so I spent yesterday’s time [2024-01-28] to give a few more upgrades to Braixen’s portraits. Mainly because for some reason when I’ve made this portrait I made the tufts of orange fur of its ears point downwards instead of upwards, so I decided to edit that. Although I still left the original version in case someone wants it here. At least most of that fur wasn’t large enough to not fit properly into the hackbox
NOTE: If you’re going to use the normal version with the fur of its ears pointing upwards you’ll have to use the extended portrait patch to properly insert the portrait.
Part 1
Part 2
Diggersby
This might be the portrait I ended up practicing with the most, mainly at the size I ended up making it. Since I didn’t find a good way of making this portrait much smaller, I instead opted at just making this the first two parts portrait I ended up doing. And despite that, it’s still big enough that it just needs a bit of the mug extension patch lol. But at least it ended up turning out in a very good portrait of this character.
Long hair variant
Anthro Sylveon
This is the same portrait that I’ve made a while ago for a submission contest. This one was made for the same reason as the Glaceon one. So far, it looks fine, but maybe I’ll improve its pose, and I’ll definitely have to see at making an inverted version of this portrait. And despite this one having more varied amount of colors than the Glaceon portraits, I think that this one was much easier to do overall.
Delphox
The final stage of the fire starter of Pokemon’s sixth generation. Compared to a Greninja portrait I did earlier, this one was more trickier to sprite, since Delphox has some very big orange hair coming out of its ears, so you have to make sure it fits right while at the same time the portrait as a whole doesn’t feel too small when compared in size to other characters. Maybe I could make it a bit more bigger since the head may be still a bit too small, alongside drawing the shoulders again, but overall I like how this one came out when compared to another one I did. I made this one so that it could use the extend mug patch to fit properly, but even without that the portrait as a whole looks good too at least.
Gen VII
Midnight Form Lycanroc
Ever since I posted my previous Midnight Lycanroc portrait I wanted to make another, better portrait of this Pokemon, especially since that one looked a bit off-model. This one at the very least now looks much better than the other one, although I’ve based this portrait on one of the arts of the Daily Lycanroc arts there were back in the past. I think the person that made that art isn’t around here anymore (specifically, left social media altogether) so I don’t think they’ll say anything about it. Still, glad I ended up making this portrait.
Salazzle
The seductive fire-poison type lizard from Gen VII. I wanted to improve my skills at using various colors tone for the time being, so I made this Salazzle portrait which uses a lot more color tones than other portraits I made before (she has 4 skin tones, but still, good enough I would say). I think with this portrait and other Pokemon ones I may not plan on making a version that uses even less colors unless this one ends up going into Unite (that, or I end up making a different outfit altogether), just so that these ones don’t end up looking too simple and plain to look at.
Primarina
This is a portrait I’ve made some time ago, like two months ago, for a FE6 PME (the Lyn’s Bizarre Adventure one). This is one of the better portraits I’ve created recently, mostly by the amount of colors I used. But if you plan on recoloring this portrait (the one with max 16 colors), keep in mind that the lightest hair tone shares color with one the colors used for one of its eyes, and the darkest skin tones also get used a bit in some of the portrait.
Decidueye
The final stage of the plant starter from Gen VII. The one that I like the most from that gen too. It was fun making its portrait, although the reason it has an alt variant is when I ended up doing its design, I noticed midway that the way that its “shoulder leaves” are done were supposed to point downwards instead of upwards, but since I liked how I did it previously, I decided to make two portraits with different shoulder leaves design. Frankly, that happened thanks to some art of the Pokemon anime making it like that, mainly when it was in a state of combat, so maybe you can make it like that if you use these portraits. I also liked making a surprised alt of it with its eyes wide open.
Although if I end up making outfits for this Pokemon and plan for those to also be useable in normal FE GBA romhacks, I’ll have to make a variant with much less colors, because there’s no way they’ll mix well with the normal portrait lol.
Gen VIII
Cinderace
The fully evolved fire rabbit from Gen VII. seeing as this was one of the first portraits I’ve made, and in contrast to Lucario, this one was a bit more rough to draw and had to do multiple redraws for this one. Maybe I’ll update it later once again, but for now this is the best try I have for this one.
Cinderace outfits
Cinderace Captain Style
Pretty sure this was the first special Unite outfit of the game, still, good outfit nonetheless. I feel like the hat is a bit small. Maybe later I’ll make it more taller.
Cinderace Guardian Style
This was a really easy outfit to make, I didn’t even take too long in modifying the mouth frames, and the minimug is unchanged lol. It was a bit more varied color wise, but this one wasn’t difficult to sort out anyways. Looks nice if you want a middle east desert based character any setting.
Cinderace Pastel Style
Fun Fact: This holowear in spanish is called the “Spring” style. Although even if you look at the outfit you’ll know this is a spring outfit. Another one that’s good right now for the next season. And despite the color variety still was still easy to make.
Inteleon
The fully evolved water spy lizard from Gen VII is now a FE GBA portrait. Also my favorite Gen VII starter. Suppose nobody has a problem with that, I hope. I made its portrait by taking Legault’s portrait as reference, which quite fit well enough. I feel like improving its mouth frames, but for now its decent enough.
Gen IX
Meowscarada
The fully evolved grass starter from Gen IX. The pose I chose for this Pokemon fits very well, although I think in the future I’ll update how it looks in general. But at the very least there’s a Meowscarada portrait anyone can use. I’ve also made a maskless version of this one if anyone wants it.
![Miraidon[Full Colors]](https://feuniverse.us/uploads/default/original/3X/0/d/0daf4f7c0390b04dbc0ba8c92f91666c78982cb2.png)
Miraidon
One of the funny sandwich lizards from the most recent Pokemon Gen at this time, the future flavored version. It was fun making the portrait of this one, mainly because it uses a good amount of colors to look properly well, and also to further improve my skills at making very big mouth frames. The left Miraidon portrait uses less colors btw, which might make a bit of a nice exercise when I end up making an outfit for this one. It also makes use of the mug extend patch, although this one is not as necesary as other portraits since it may not be visible at all times, so this part ends up being more optional thankfully.
Persona
Persona 3
SEES
Makoto Yuki
The emo protagonist of Persona 3. Despite being the main character this one wasn’t actually the first Persona 3 portrait I’ve made. It took me a while to make one mainly because unlike the other characters I didn’t find a good enough art to reference to, but eventually I ended up making one later. If we talked about the 16 max color version I would say that I did managed to find all the colors I needed to make at least his normal outfit and his battle outfit from P3R look good enough. If I were to revisit this one I think the thing that would change the most would be his hair imo. Overall, I’m glad I managed to make this one.
Yukari Takeba
The Healer girl from Persona 3. I think this was a more complicated portrait to make than Junpei’s. Mainly, I had to cheat a bit for her max 16 colors portrait where her 2nd lighest hair tone is actually her 3rd skin tone, and on her SEES battle gear her sweater ended up losing its shading. Although at the very least it was fun trying to sort out her color palettes in the end. If I revisit her portraits, I’ll mainly try and redo the arrows from the belt she has in her battle gear.
Junpei Iori
Who’s da man? Junpei’s the man! Here’s the lovable goofball from Persona 3. It was fun making his portrait, especially when making the variants of him with his hat backwards. Although thanks to how I managed his color palette in the reduced version, most of his colors are used in all over the place. Also, if you want to properly use his SEES battle gear portrait, you’ll have to make use of the extend mug patch.
Akihiko Sanada
The boxing champion, all-rounder party member from Persona 3. Imo of the P3 main cast I’ve made a portrait of so far, I think he was the one character that was easy for me to do a portrait of, mainly because his SEES gear doesn’t change that much of his normal attire, mainly just having the protection gear and the above part of the SEES armband, and nothing else. That, and combined with his color palette, makes him one of the one party member that changes the least when reducing the colors he has.
Mitsuru Kirijo
The ice queen from Persona 3. This a fun portrait to make, although maybe one thing that could be changed is the position where her hair covers her right eye, since that’s how she should look. Eh, maybe some other time. As for her other outifts, I struggled a bit to reduce the colors she used for her SEES battle gear, since her normal portrait already has 16 colors, so I had to change the darkest shirt color so that it could also be used in her jacket, and also have a second jacket color. And her summer outfit is both a joke portrait and an easy variant, since you have to check closely to check the differences in her shirt. At least they’re more noticeable than Akihiko’s uniforms.
Fuuka Yamagishi
The mission control party member from Persona 3. I remember that a guy literally named Nobody did a portrait of Fuuka some years ago, although since I was making portraits of the rest of the P3 cast, I didn’t have in mind to not make a portrait of Fuuka. After all, P3R did make new art for the characters too. As for her normal outfit does differ from Nobody’s Fuuka portrait, like having her eyes’ color use some of the skin tones instead of using the hair colors, alongside her shirt only having one distinct color and the others being her hair colors, and her sweater ended up being darker in color. I struggled for a bit at making her SEES outfit since unlike the other party members, she ends up having more things added to her outfit, like the headgear and the big jacket, but overall I’m very glad how it turned out in the end, especially for the version with max 16 colors.
Aigis
Persona 3’s most iconic character, a robot girl in other words. This one might be by far the most difficult of the Persona 3 cast to properly make a portrait of, at least when it comes to the amount of colors you can use in the portrait itself. Mainly, I had to make her 3rd hair color into her 4th skin tone, make her parts of her body that were metallic gold into a weird mix of her hair and skin tones, and reducing the white and blue colors in her appearance to give her less colors, and that would still leave her with 15 colors at normal. Maybe it’s no problem if you only want her normal outfit, but if you want any other that maybe isn’t the high school uniform, you’ll be in tough luck just to give her another outfit. But at the very least I’m glad at how this one turned out in the end.
Koromaru
The dog persona user from Persona 3 (And the one that could use fire skills better than Junpei). Got a bit lazy here and ended up just using his actual portrait from P3R, although not only did I still have to make his other outfits, making his portrait did end up taking a bit of time anyways. Maybe I’ll redo his evoker collar someday, but for now it’s good enough as it is.
Ken Amada
The youngest (human) persona user from P3, and all of the Persona franchise so far (And the most unreliable team member, one that was outclassed easily by Yukari, at least in the og P3, thank god for the remake lol). Surprisingly, making his portrait ended up being easy all around, since some of the colors he uses are almost the same. I only ended up having a bit of trouble at making the left part of his hair, since it is supposed to be a bit more spiky and longer, but I had to find a balance between making it like that and not end up making it look bad. Imo I think it came out very well, so there’s that.
Shinjro Aragaki
The last SEES member you get in P3 (and the best physical user in the game bar none). Ironically, this is the first character of the P3 cast I ended up making a portrait of, much before making the MC’s portraits. Despite that, I ended up improving his normal portrait so it would look much more like his P3R portrait and art, and like normal FE GBA portraits, while also doing his SEES Battle Gear, which actually ended up being a bit difficult to do despite not changing much of his appearance at first. In the end tho I came around and ended up making it look decent enough.
Metis
The new party member you get in “Episode Aigis - The Answer”. Making her portrait was for the most fun and easy to do, since unlike Aigis most of her colors used in her appearance blend well with one another, although what I ended up struggling at instead was in making her mask-helmet. It ended up so big that you’ll have to use the extended mug patch to fit her portrait perfectly. But other than that, it was pretty easy to make in the end. Maybe I’ll improve her mask later on, but it leave as is for now.
Villains
Takaya Sakaki
The Jesus looking, actually nihilistic dark messiah from P3, that uses a revolver to fight. Even tho doing front facing portraits isn’t that common, and you have to be careful so they don’t end up awkward looking, there were actually indeed some FE GBA portraits that were of this type, and I wanted to make Takaya’s portrait look a bit unnerving, and just like how his P3 and P3R portraits look. Funny enough, despite not having any clothes to cover his upper body, and just having a small black headband on his head, he still has enough colors to fill the 16 colors restriction, which mostly happens thanks to the tatoos he has on his shoulders, so if you want to edit his portrait by adding clothes, then make sure to cover his tatoos well (or just use their colors for clothes). Idk if it’s just me but for some reason making his portrait look forwards makes him look like he’s a bit muscular despite him being actually more frail, but I think I’ll leave his portraits as is now.
Jin Shirato
Takaya’s main psycho supporter that fights by throwing grenades around. This portrait was the 2nd I’ve made from the Strega group, after making Takaya’s, but was actually the first one I’ve released a while back on another thread. I like how his green jacket turned out, but if I were to revisit his portrait, I would fix up his hair so that it becomes less large and straight, and improve a bit the colors used on his glasses when reducing the colors for his skin.
Jin portraits and expressions
Coming soon
Chidori Yoshino
The only girl from Strega, and the less evil one of them all. In contrast to the other two, I didn’t want to base her portrait out of any of the ones she had in the games, since I wanted to make her portrait a bit unique to any of them (it fits a bit too, since she’s the only Strega member to have a different pose for her portraits in P3R), and mainly to practice at making portraits without basing them too much on their original art to make them a bit more unique, and by that also improving at making more original portraits.
Despite looking a bit like it, I actually didn’t use Karla’s hair to make her hair, despite in hindsight it could’ve been good to use it to make her hair a bit easier. The outfit I made first was the hospital robes one, since I knew that her main one would take a bit more time, and to make alts of her portrait be more manageable. I did end up basing the colors used on the colors from her P3R portraits, mainly since some of her clothes were actually colored into a very light shade of pink in the P3 movies, but even with full colors I didn’t want to add more colors to her portrait. Overall, despite being one of the characters with a more complicated design that I made so far, her portraits end up not losing a lot of colors without looking lackluster, so that they’re easy to recolor or edit. To showcase that, I’ve made an alt of her hospital robes outfit that also has her headband on, which is actually how her hospital robes outfit looked in the og P3 too.

The first non-story SL you do in P3 (at least in the og version, and this one being obligatory). Fitting for being the same arcana as Junpei. The first outfit I did for him was the summer uniform one, and after doing that one I did his other two outfits, which were simple enough. In fact, making at least his head was so easy, since not only the face I took as a base, Forde’s, was a good for Kenji, but the right side of his hair, which was from a normal FE7/8 villager, was mostly unedited since that looked very similar to Kenji’s. Some of his hair colors ended up being a bit similar to his darker skin tone, but since he doesn’t really have complicated outfits, I left them separate from those. Maybe the only I’ll only update from him is his collar from his casual attire, since I feel it looks a bit weird and small.
Hidetoshi Odagiri
The Student Council president that has the same Emperor arcana as Akihiko. Making his portraits was even faster than Kenji’s, mainly since I took the body I made of Kenji’s summer school outfit thanks to these characters for the most part having similar body shapes, so all I did there was just making a few edits to his outfit. Although, despite his portraits not really having more colors than Kenji’s, some other parts of his clothes (like his tie) ended up being unedited. Maybe because one of the colors of his winter outfit shares colors with his darkest hair color. Still, despite being a portrait I did quickly, I still liked how it turned out, like his hair and his mouth frames.
Bunkichi Kitamura
One half of the Hierophant SL in P3. To make his portrait I ended up using GoudaGrabber’s portrait of an old man, mainly since that one had a pose I could use to make Bunkichi’s portrait, although it was a struggle to make his portrait fit well in the portrait space thanks to being a bit long. And even with that part of his hair makes it so that you have to use the extend mug patch to fully insert his portrait. For the most part I like how his portrait turned out, specially his hand, although Idk if I want to make part of his head a bit bigger to give him a bit more detail, but I guess I’ll leave him as is.
Mitsuko Kitamura
In comparison to his husband of which I ended up struggling mainly to making his portrait fit well within the space of the FEGBA portraits, with Mitsuko I ended up struggling at making the colors of her outfit so as to fit the max amount of colors a normal portrait can have. That and pretty much the flowers and branches from her dress aren’t noticeable at all thanks to the size I had to make them, so in turn they’re much more simplistic compared to her normal P3 portraits. But other than that making her portrait was still much faster than making Bunkichi’s, since I didn’t have to struggle in the size of her portrait.
Kazushi Miyamoto
The original Chariot SL from P3, aka the one that wants to break his leg to win a sports competition. I originally intended to do the other outfits he had for the cut sports clubs in P3 (the Swimming and Kendo ones) but I ended up getting lazy and just did the ones he has in P3R. I’ll do them once I also find a way to change his face and the colors used in his outfits, alongside making his hair a bit bigger, since imo I feel it could use some improvements there. Other than that it was fun giving him a different skin tone from the other characters I did so far.
Rio Iwasaki
The one that replaces Kaz if you play as the FEMC in P3P. Funny enough I did end up doing all her in-game outfits at once in comparison to Kaz, although I feel Kaz looks more unique in a way, since I didn’t change Lyn’s portrait enough to differentiate her from Rio’s. Then again, since they look somewhat similar (almost the same face shape and hair ponytail), maybe that’s why I didn’t end up changing much of Lyn’s mug. Maybe in the future when I get better at making portraits I will do a Rio mug that doesn’t look like Lyn. At least with this one I somewhat began to learn how to do neck collars, since they weren’t quite so simple to make.
Chihiro Fushimi
This character might be one of my favorite SL characters in Persona 3, even better since she ends up making a cameo in Persona 4. And so far I’m also a fan of how her portraits turned out too. Her eyes frames might look a bit funny by being partially covered by her glasses if you look close enough, so if you prefer, I have made one alt of her portrait without glasses. I only did one but if you’d like you could easily do the rest of her outfits without the glasses. Otherwise I just did alts of those without one of her hands being raised, which were actually the first ones I did.
Maya
Yes, this is just literally her P3R portrait reduced to fit the hackbox, what did you expect lol. At least it acomplishes being far more different than the rest of the characters shown here. Maybe one day I could actually try making an actual portrait of her, but for now there’s not much to talk about here really.
Saori Hasegawa
The other character that was made for the FEMC route in P3P. Just like with Chihiro I ended up liking how I did her portraits, although compared to hers one thing I ended up struggling a bit was making her hair, since here I discovered that I don’t really like making curly hair, kinda like Florina’s, Natasha’s, or Takaya’s (another P3 character that I did previously). If I revisit this portrait sometime, maybe I’ll improve her hair, and her eyes too.
Keisuke Hiraga
The original Fortune arcana SL, and friend of Hidetoshi Odagiri. Aka, the one that looks like Scott The Woz. Making his portraits was a bit easy to do, since I just took Arthur’s portrait and the body of a Gekkoukan student I already made before so that making it was quick to do. However I decided to skip on doing his casual outfit for now, since of all the SL students to have a casual attire, Keisuke’s the most difficult and annoying one to do, thanks to having somewhat of a mosaic pattern on his shirt, so for now he just has his school outfits.
Ryoji Mochizuki
The womanizing student that shows up very late in the game, right when the main plot was supposed to end in November because it hasn’t ended yet, and there’s a big reason why he suddenly showed up out of nowhere. He’s almost like Lyon from FE8 in a certain way. To reference the fact that he’s somehow a very tall character, even taller than Shinjiro IIRC, this time I didn’t really worry about the size of his portrait, making him so far the tallest character out of all the P3 cast. Were it not for his hair having some upward bangs, I would’ve made his portrait even taller, but overall I still like how his mug turned out. I initially planned to make his darkest shirt colors to use the colors of his eyes, but I instead went for the hair colors, and overall it still turned out fine imo. All in all, this has become one of the P3 portraits I ended up liking the most at how it turned out.
Yuko Nishiwaki
The sports leader SL from Persona 3. Another cool character as well, and one that I really liked at how it came out. I thought that doing her portrait was going to be a bit difficult, mainly for her having a different skin tone than most of the other Gekkoukan students, but it turns out that doing her portraits wasn’t so hard as it turned out. This was a portrait where I basically took advantage of her hair colors to mix them in with the white colors used in her eyes and clothes, so out of all the characters I did so far, she’s one of the few characters I did that doesn’t lose a lot of detail when reducing the colors in her portrait. Yet if it was possible I could’ve had at least one more color slot to keep the red pinkish clip from her hair, and maybe try and make her lips different, but other than it came out well, I would say.
Maiko Oohashi
A girl that ends up caught in her parents’ nasty divorce. Since she’s a kid character, it was more or less quick the process of making her portrait, although if you look close enough she actually has a good amount of colors in her portrait. I wish I had three tones for her blue light sweater to preserve the detail in her clothes tbh. If I end up revisiting her portrait I would mainly improve her hair buns since I feel they were the most tricky thing to do here.

Pharos
The mysterious boy that warns about the end of the world, and a character that only the protagonist meets. Maybe that justifies me making his portrait front facing (and also his portrait being like that even in P3R), although it didn’t make the portrait be any easier. I had to make his head not be very big so that it wouldn’t look out of place, but I also wanted to accentuate some parts of his face to showcase the uncanny valley effect more on him. Maybe one day I’ll redo his portrait so that it looks much more similar to how he looks in P3. Otherwise I did better in the color department tbh.

Elizabeth
The infamous velvet room elevator attendant of P3. I think her portrait was bit easy to do IIRC. Maybe the hair and face where the parts that it took a bit longer to do, and in hindsight maybe I should’ve done her blue tones be more clearer in color. Otherwise, despite having a good amount of colors, her reduced palette variant has two free tones in case someone wants to splice her, and more easier since she more or less has a simple palette scheme. If I revisit her portrait maybe I would improve her hand further (it’s a bit closer to her body than how it is in her P3R portrait too), but even with that I feel that I did a good job making her hand here.

Other Videogame Franchises
Romancing SaGa - Aisha
A portrait I made as part of an art trade, with her design of the og Romancing SaGa specifically. It may not look like it, but this character has somewhat of a tricky design, what with having a good amount of colors, using various tones of orange, yellow, green, white, and a bit of black and pink, alongside a complicated hair design, but somehow I managed to pull through and be able to make it. What I did for the colors was ramp up most of them so that they could still be used in the portrait, like the darkest shade of green being one of two tones for the black colors, the brightest whites being the brightest skin color, replacing a tone of yellow with the 2nd hair tone, and pretty much replacing the pink colors with the 3rd and 4th skin tones. Her hair was I would say the hardest thing to do since it was really big and with a good amount of ponytails, but thankfully enough I manage to do it well enough while still being able to fit in a hackbox normally. If I were to revisit her portrait, I would try and redo the ponytails since they were the less elaborated part of the portrait as a whole.
Non-Videogame franchises
Sonic Cinematic Universe
Sonic
The live action version of one of gaming’s most iconic characters, the blue blur himself. I might have made some of the color distribution of Sonic (and some of the other characters) based on some of GoudaGrabber’s Sonic portraits, but the design itself is, obviously, the live action one. Anyways, this one might’ve been a bit unintentional, but after seeing the colors I’ve used for Sonic, I think they ended up being a bit similar to the ones he has in the Sonic movie 2’s pre-quill comic, fun stuff. The pose was based on one he has when Robotnik ends up attacking him for the first time in the 2nd movie. When inserting the sketch of his portrait, I ended up realizing that it was going to be a bit difficult doing his eyes, since I had to be careful to not make too big or else they wouldn’t fit in the eyes frames. In the end I manage to make Sonic’s portrait very well, although if I end up revisiting it I think I would make his eyes a bit smaller (but not too much obviously) and maybe patch up part of his torso, mainly his arms.
Miles 'Tails' Prower
The sidekick young fox that’s also a technology prodigy, and the only one so far of the Sonic franchise so far to retain his VA from the games into the live action Sonic projects. His pose was based on one of his earliest scenes in the 2nd movie, and his portrait ended up being so simple in colors to the point that this time I didn’t end up doing an alt with less colors, so instead I made a recolored alt where he has the color scheme he had in the post-credits scene of the first movie. Still, If I were to redo his portrait, I think I would add more colors to his portrait, maybe an extra tone of white, and touch up his tails.
Knuckles
The red warrior echidna that “doesn’t chuckle”. His pose was based on one of his promotional artwork, minus his fists being raised. I wanted him to be the tallest out of all the Sonic characters, but if I end up redoing his portrait, maybe I would change the angle of his head a bit. His portrait might look simple at a glance, but he actually has quite an amount of colors, like having various tones of red, white and skin color, but I left two colors for his reduced colors alt in case I were to do like, his hat from his live action series.
Shadow
One of Sonic’s most complex characters to exist once you get past his edgelord appearance and characterization, although maybe that’s why he’s most commonly known as Sonic’s main rival. I ended up doing reversed shading for his black fur so that he would look good, but since his portrait ended up being a bit big, he’ll need the mug extension patch to be used properly. If I redo his portrait in the future, maybe I’ll fix up some of his shading, alongside making his eyes a bit different so he doesn’t look a bit weird, or maybe just leave him with that and just give him an angry alt.
Shadow outfits and expressions
Happy expression
Really angry expression
John Wick alt
John Wick outfit
This one was inspired by TheMathewFlames’ youtube video of Shadow as John Wick, and considering that was made by the casting of Keanu as Shadow, it was very fitting tbh. The design and colors of the outfit were basically straight from the John Wick portrait I did earlier, although in the version with reduced colors I feel that his suit blends too much from his darkest hair color, but since I didn’t want it to be too light, I made it like that. Maybe I’ll change it later.
Batman alt
No mask alt
Batman outfit
After making the John Wick outfit for Shadow, I also decided to do some portraits of the Batman outfit made for him. Funny enough, I thought making his portrait with his mask was going to be more easier at managing his colors compared to the variant without it, but that ended up being the contrary. So what I ended up doing was axing his darkest eye and hair color and replacing it with the only dark hair color he had there, and so far it looks like it isn’t that noticeable at least.
Facing right/inverted alt
Terios
The character that pretty much is one of Shadow’s early designs, and the one that resembles Sonic the most. Thanks to that I took the portrait I made of him and used it to make this one. Aside from changing the color scheme and adding the scarred eye, red collar and smiling frames, I also took part of one of Knuckles dreadlocks thanks to basing this portrait on his look in SXSG. Overall this one doesn’t lose a lot of important colors when reducing it too max 16 colors, so it still looks nice.
Dr Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik
The mad genius of the Sonic franchise himself, and specifically the version portrayed by the famous Jim Carrey. The first outfit I did of him is the new one he has in the 3rd movie, of which I only had trouble at drawing one of the shoulders and some parts of the collar. It’s a bit surprising and good that, for the most part, the darkest hair (moustache) tone makes for a good third red tone, although I couldn’t get to have him keep at least one yellow tone for some parts of his outfits. If I revisit him, maybe I’ll rework a bit his moustache and the collar of his outfits.
Dr. Gerald Robotnik
Ivo’s grandfather, and Shadow’s creator. Seeing as he’s pretty much like an older Eggman (I mean, he’s portrayed by the same actor, just like in the games) he’s more or less an edit of Eggman’s new outfit of the 3rd Sonic Movie. After that, I did his other main outfit of this movie, the scientist outfit. Fortunately, unlike his grandson, managing the colors for his outfits ended up being a lot easier, even while giving a light blue color that’s only used in his eyes. If I revisit his portrait, I would maybe make the part between his chin and neck a bit more larger and fatter, since compared to Ivo he has more fat in that part.
Amy Rose
The spunky and cheerful pink haired girl hedgehog from the Sonic franchise, the movie version that is interpreted by [Unknown VA, will change once they announce who will be]. I spend a good amount of time making her portrait so that it would come out well, and it shows. The most difficult part of her head for the portraits (aside from the eyes like how it also turned out with the previous Sonic characters) would be her tuft of hair above her head, I would say, but it wasn’t very hard to figure out how to draw it. The first outfit I made was the one where she has the cloak and cape, with her head uncovered. After that I did her alt with the hammer, which I bet was thankfully able to be made thanks to her not being too big for the hammer to not be able to fit in the portrait. Then after that I did an alt where she wears an outfit that resembles the one she has in the games since Sonic Adventure, which was done for two reasons: one, since via a concept art of the third movie shows her with this outfit, so I did it in case in the next movie it does turn out she ends up wearing it, and two, so that people could have a portrait of the movie version of Amy with the outfit of her main counterpart instead of the other one. After that I did a hooded alt of her other outfit. As for the colors used for her normal variants, since she has a good amount of colors (including the ones used in her hand and hammer if you count those) the main challenge of this portrait was to see how to fit each one while not losing too much detail. By the end, the result was the cape sharing colors with her two darkest skin tones, two green tones for her eyes that could be replaced by a 2nd hood shade and a 6th skin tone in her hooded alt, her 3rd hair tone being made a bit red to fit as a color tone for some of her clothes, and her lightest skin tone made being a bit clearer, which, while making her skin shades a bit more pale than usual, at least helped giving a good color for other parts of any of her portraits, mainly her eyes and glove. If I could tho, I wish I had another tone of yellow for her hammer, since her skin tones make it a bit hard to give it more convincing tones of yellow. Other than that tho, this character went much better than expected, and maybe I’ll only revisit her portrait if she ends up having a different outfit or appearance in the fourth movie.
John Wick
The Boogeyman himself. I wanted to do some portraits of this character ever since the actor of this character was cast as a certain black animal (well, if you have checked the portraits I’ve made, it’ll be obvious who I am talking about). Ngl, it was pretty fun to make them honestly. Most of the art was based on the Fortnite skins of this character, although I also checked screenshots of him in the movies, alongside pure skill and creativity from my own. The character I took to make his pose was Elbert, and then I used Fado’s hair to make the alts with long hair. Overall, I’m very happy with how these portraits turned out.

Delphox portrait improvement
The very first Delphox portrait shown here is my very first attempt at drawing this Pokemon, done back in this 2024’s January. Obviously as you can see, it didn’t turn out too well, since not only it has a lack of colors thanks to me just not giving it more detailing and shading, it also had its ear hair be too big to the point it couldn’t be inserted in just one portrait, even with the extend mug patch. The problem was that I drawn it in a centered pose, and even that makes it so that this portrait ends up too big to fit properly.
After this, I ended up making this new attempt, which in contrast was now drawn with a side angle, much like characters like Legault and Ismaire. Since I didn’t want its ear hair to be simple in shading, unlike how its shown in official art, I colored it like normal hair shading so that it would more akin to the normal FEGBA portraits. At this point I was starting to learn more about how perception works too, since so that this portrait would look and fit better into a hackbox, I had to make the left ear smaller.
After this, I ended up making it smaller, alongside making the right ear a bit bigger and more detailed, while at the same time making sure I didn’t make it too big.
And finally, once I was done with all that, I made the overall portrait more bigger and fixed and added some parts like the right shoulder and parts of the head. While it still needs the extend mug patch to fit parts of the portrait at the right, I’ll very gadly take that over having to make the portrait into a two hackbox portrait.
Overall, I enjoyed making this portrait, mainly by learning how to make characters like this, and by showing how much I’ve learned since then.
